A Transient Detection Algorithm for Audio Using Iterative Analysis of STFT
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an iterative algorithm to detect transient segments in audio signals. Short time Fourier transform (STFT) is used to detect rapid local changes in the audio signal. The algorithm has two steps that iteratively (a) calculate a function of the STFT and (b) build a transient signal. A dynamic thresholding scheme is used to locate the potential positions of transients in the signal. The iterative procedure ensures that genuine transients are built up while the localised spectral noise are suppressed by using an energy criterion. The extracted transient signal is later compared to a ground truth dataset. The algorithm performed well on two databases. On the EBU-SQAM database of monophonic sounds, the algorithm achieved an F-measure of 90% while on our database of polyphonic audio an F-measure of 91% was achieved. This technique is being used as a preprocessing step for a tempo analysis algorithm and a TSR (Transients + Sines + Residue) decomposition scheme.

Formation interface detection using Gamma Ray log: A novel approach
There are two methods for identifying formation interface in oil wells: core analysis, which is a precise approach but costly and time consuming, and well logs analysis, which petrophysists perform, which is subjective and not completely reliable. In this paper, a novel coupled method was proposed to detect the formation interfaces using GR logs. Second approximation level (a2) of GR log gained...
متن کاملAnalysis of signal reconstruction after modulation filtering
When the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) of an audio signal is arbitrarily modified, it no longer truly represents a time-domain signal. Classically, the accepted solution to obtain a time-domain signal from a modified STFT (MSTFT) is to invert the MSTFT to a time-domain signal that has an STFT that is closest to the MSTFT in a least squares sense. This is also the approach currently taken ...

This research paper presents some methods to assess the performance of Wigner Ville Distribution for Time-Frequency representation of non-stationary signals, in comparison with the other representations like STFT, Spectrogram etc. The simultaneous timefrequency resolution of WVD is one of the important properties which makes it preferable for analysis and detection of linear FM and transient si...
متن کاملMultiresolution STFT Phase Estimation with Frame-Wise Posterior Window Length Decision
This paper presents an extension to the dual-window-length Real-Time Iterative Spectrogram Inversion phase estimation algorithm (RTISI). Instead of a transient detection in advance, the phase estimator itself determines the correct window length when the phase information for all window lengths have already been estimated. This way, we get significant improvements compared with the previous met...
متن کاملSignal estimation from modified short-time Fourier transform
In this paper, we present an algorithm to estimate a signal from its modified short-time Fourier transform (STFT). This algorithm is computationally simple and is obtained by minimizing the mean squared error between the STFT of the estimated signal and the modified STFT. Using this algorithm, we also develop an iterative algorithm to estimate a signal from its modified STFT magnitude. The iter...
